WIFIDrop is an easy-to-use progressive web app (PWA) that allows users to transfer large files between devices over the same WIFI network.

- ✅ Automatically discover devices on the same WIFI network.
- ✅ Transfer large files between devices.
- ✅ Copy paste from the clipboard between devices.
- ✅ Secured by built-in WebRTC end-to-end encryption.
Try it out!
